#93713 - Unions in C |
Apart from the ability to confuse the hell out of people reading anyone elses code,and the memory savings is there any real reason why unions cannot be simply replaced with structures? As far as i understand it the only real loss is the increased memory requirements and the possibility that someone else might work out how your code works. |
